BDMS Wellness Clinic, a leading preventive healthcare institution under Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Public Company Limited (BDMS), has earned two prestigious honours at the Healthcare Asia Awards 2025: Health and Wellness Initiative of the Year and Health Promotion Initiative of the Year. These accolades reflect the clinic’s pioneering efforts in preventive healthcare and its mission to redefine wellness through innovation, scientific insight, and lifestyle medicine.
The awards were presented during a grand ceremony on 10 April 2025 at the Renaissance Convention Centre in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, recognising outstanding healthcare providers across Asia for excellence in treatment, service development, and system innovation.
Tanupol Virunhagarun, M.D., Chief Executive Officer of BDMS Wellness Clinic and BDMS Wellness Resort, Bangkok Dusit Medical Services Public Company Limited, accepted the awards and expressed pride in the clinic’s commitment to sustainable, long-term health solutions. “These awards affirm our dedication to personalised, holistic healthcare, supported by scientific evidence and cutting-edge technology,” said Dr Tanupol. “Our approach empowers individuals to take control of their health and supports their journey toward lasting well-being.”
A global model for longevity and scientific wellness
BDMS Wellness Clinic’s recognition for Health and Wellness Initiative of the Year highlights its leadership in advancing proactive health management. Central to this is the clinic’s Longevity by Scientific Wellness Initiative, which blends medical science with lifestyle solutions to extend not just lifespan, but healthspan—the quality years of life lived free from disease.
The initiative begins with a comprehensive “Wellness Life Blueprint” that analyses health at the cellular level through advanced assessments such as telomere length testing, DNA and epigenetic profiling, and body composition scans. Other evaluations include early cancer detection and detailed metabolic analysis.
These insights inform personalised health plans tailored to each individual’s needs. Services include weight and stress management, personalised supplements, sleep improvement, and preventive care programmes—all overseen by multidisciplinary medical teams specialising in preventive medicine.
Education also plays a critical role. BDMS Wellness Clinic actively engages with communities and clients through seminars and digital platforms, promoting knowledge and awareness for self-care and sustainable health.
Wellness tourism reimagined
BDMS Wellness Clinic’s Health Promotion Initiative of the Year award celebrates its innovative collaboration with Sri panwa Phuket, a renowned six-star resort, in creating BDMS Wellness Clinic Sri panwa—a unique wellness tourism model that integrates health and relaxation.
Guests experience a “Luxury Wellness Retreat” beginning with a holistic assessment followed by tailored fitness, mindfulness, and nutritional programmes. Activities include yoga, meditation, spa treatments, vitamin therapy, and personalised cooking classes with Sri panwa chefs. The serene coastal setting of Cape Panwa adds to the restorative experience.
This partnership represents a forward-thinking blend of healthcare and hospitality that supports physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. It reflects the clinic’s strategy to promote Thailand as a premier wellness destination and a global leader in integrative health solutions.
A national vision for a global impact
At the heart of this success is Tanupol Virunhagarun, M.D., known affectionately as “Dr Amp”, who is at the forefront of the movement to position Thailand as a global Wellness Hub. His vision combines scientific precision, advanced healthcare technologies, and the philosophy of balanced living rooted in Lifestyle Medicine.
“Good health is not just personal—it is the foundation of a strong and sustainable society,” said Dr Amp. “At BDMS Wellness Clinic, we’re proud to be part of #TeamThailand, working across sectors to bring happiness and holistic wellness to people around the world who visit our country.”
These awards reaffirm BDMS Wellness Clinic’s role in setting new standards in preventive healthcare and wellness tourism, proving that Thailand’s health innovations are not only world-class—but world-changing.
